Report SIC - Opening of accounts at distance

On the last day 21/11/2018 in the Journal of the Night (SIC), passed a large report (6 minutes) on the opening of bank accounts at a distance, where all the banks that in Portugal have already opened accounts in this way.

During the recording, the Digitalsign operations Center was visited, and images were collected on site with the process of opening a bank account.

We congratulate SIC and journalist Pedro Andersson in particular on the excellence of the report, disseminating a Matters of public interest and creating confidence in a new service by explaining all the safety rules associated with this process, while also creasing the ease of access for citizens, away from major centres, to low-cost banking services.

We also congratulate the banks BNI Europa and CGD – Caixa Geral de Depósitos, which have relied on DigitalSign for the provision of this relevant service.

We hope that these services will be extended quickly, making available to the general public other innovative services, as well as supporting the immigrant communities, in a perspective of proximity and public service.
